I have to give it 3 stars because it was a bit disappointing to me. I picked it up with a different expectation and it was just a book with excepts from other books but some of them weren’t even that interesting or abruptly ended ? It was a bit confusing.
However, for the stories I did connect with it was a very pleasant experience and I even highlighted some quotes. That’s the thing right, no matter how average this reading experience was, just being a book about books makes it worth it 🫶
Disclaimer: I have a B1-B2 level French level so I believe that might explain why I misunderstood the whole point of the book and didn’t connect as much with some of the stories, I do intend to come back to some of the interesting ones independently to dive deeper into the reflections and truly study the language.
